You've already assumed the bootstrapping cost of a full ports tree checkout to do the dependency scan for php5 -- why not build the binary package (with your relevant make options) there as well? Then the rest of your machines can install *everything* from packages, and therefore won't require *any* of the ports tree, not even some subset of exceptions that need to be compiled. This would save even more resources, since you only compile php5 once, rather than once per machine. --=20 Benjamin Lee http://www.b1c1l1.com/ --------------enigE5AC33410B9E0BBEC97BE4D1 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.16 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJMSfX5AAoJEHBW16CPoSMCL1gP/RajXfsUbVJSTSa7IUdaGdzj FwpQNoMDY1jhKpauIFlulaM/Equ+TufdjbPJvFog3Dyq6OcaFOYl0m8JDfjUjCdI pyoIW5Bt+Tib6zyahMBN/rC4WD3NfrYzqus4DihNYvSxb/vrAOvpRhEw+WIo5a4H ba+MUz8NtK1KhXXu2WYXMRv7bNazlzvtwrcFQtJVxbLO5hXYQ1Vv/UY/xuVDX45v tERefC5O5wjVQJtBAgZdRR/Zm73WU3HO+WC462ooxWUScan3DHnWFoNdeTLowwwK LKTRII6mDBLM3ZXzZr0OUBL2kv6yZ7aXMIFJbqquIc3ans+C7NS+wmKbQP3g9yUg /YZXltxZek40u468hw4Ts9SzFBLZpiRD5d3/BQBzwyVpIzz1AhXvnia4a121u4MM yI4ZA7uK1tLOBzzHg4iDS8T9RXzey6Tq5IcxPLmyt3wHXJsrdz1B3ElMrpvRKjqU xte5NVcsw/jtK42/8X7PS2RCk53B0+P8MbHJdiG7JP2nWTPD0xxLoso7gTMb6IQM Vxa8yrR54+cEggr/7CmiCrF/zUwinmF0Mi48A7c/STI6Wt3y85AiTrRIPFJHDdKf CPLhne+daEB35E52AcT7tL67A5mhIMXgfsRecFcorY6uR4TMJILv0dkQGHryWijs 6ixAp9IYuIuAHa59UAb4 =8rnW -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigE5AC33410B9E0BBEC97BE4D1--
